Blackburn Neighbourhood Policing Team have secured a closure order for an address in the area.
This comes after the property, on Waterloo Close, Blackburn, has been involved in numerous reports of anti-social behaviour.
Officers saw the order granted at Blackburn Magistrates Court on 10th February 2026 under section 80 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, and is now active for three months.
The order restricts anyone without prior permissions from entering this property, and anyone seen at the address without permissions can be arrested. If found guilty, they could be handed a fine and/ or prison sentence. This does not apply to representatives of Together Housing, who have authorisation from the courts to enter.
Sergeant Charlotte Mikolajewski, from the Blackburn with Darwen Neighbourhood Team said: “We have been able to work closely with partners to secure this closure order and demonstrate to the community that we will not tolerate persistent and disruptive anti-social behaviour.
“We’re grateful for the continued support of our residents and encourage you to keep reporting any concerns so we can take action and address these issues.”
Op Centurion is a county-wide crackdown on anti-social behaviour, led by Lancashire Constabulary and backed by Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw, delivering his priority of getting tough on anti-social behaviour, with the support of our partners.
